Banjo tuned to E(5th string G#)
Played in Key of E
Moderate tempo
Mt. Sad Blues
E A
Rooster crowing on the fence row
E
I hope he has some pretty good news
B7
He is telling us everything he knows
E
And I got the old Mt Sad Blues
A
Hes saying that he hasnt been fed
E
I guess he didnt get the news
B7
Dont care if he is a Rhode Island Red
E
Cause I got the old Mt Sad Blues
A
Old Mt Sad, its a tough piece of land
E
Does its best to beat a man down
B7
Slippery clay when wet, dry-- its blowing sand
E
Mt Sad Blues, they just keep comin around
A
Just when you think you have it whipped
E
It will fool you, get you stuck in a draw
B7
Stalk you, waiting for you to slip
E
Oh Mt Sad Blues, same old saw
A
Yeah, just when you think you know it all
E
It will prod you and spit in your eye
B7
Doing your best, hopin for a crop in the fall
E
The Mt Sad Blues, Ill have em till I die
Chorus:
E A
Cant shake those Mt Sad Blues
E
No matter how many times I pay my dues
B7
Im going down, down, down
E
With the old Mt Sad Blues
